  1. Congrats to Michael Jordan on the birth of his twin daughters.

      Down the baby chute, off the birthing table, into the nurse's hands, nothin' but net.

      He'll be 70 when they graduate high school.

      At least he's one of the few that can afford health care to stay alive that long.

  2. We beat a five star team last month.
  3. Bo is 5-7 against the five star teams with three of the seven losses by a combined 11 points. Started 2-6. 3-1 the last 1.5 years.
  4. His father played there. Those who don't learn from the past are destined to repeat it.
  5. The early period was November 13-20, 2013. The regular period is April 16-May 21, 2014. Not sure if that is JUCOs or just HS.
  6. You think they end up on the field here at the same time? Absolutely. All those times when we get up early and the other team is forced to pass and here comes the pressure! OK, Maybe not exactly that. But I definitely think they'll both be out there.
  7. Apparently he did leave LA - he's now showing up as attending Bishop Gorman.
  8. Now says Florida and Bama are his top two. Says he will still visit Nebraska.
  9. Nice compilation by the LJS about which state our recruits have come from under Pelini: Obviously Texas and California would be expected to be at the top. But the next tier is a good trend to continue: Florida, Ohio, Louisiana and Illinois plus Kansas and Missouri as they are "in our backyard."
  10. Was recently reported that he talked to the Browns about their HC job.
  11. I'm still not sure the info in that article does much to to answer the chicken/egg question: Does better recruiting make your team better or are you recruiting better because you have a better team. Their "five-star" class: Alabama - won the 2009 national championship Auburn - undefeated in 2004 Florida - won 2006 and 2008 national championships Florida State - played for national championship in 2000 and won the ACC in 00-02-03-05 LSU - won 2007 national championship Ohio State - won 2002 national championship and won B1G in 02-05-06-07-08-09 Oklahoma - won 200 national championship and won Big XII in 02-04-06-07-08 Texas - won 2005 national championship and won Big XII in 05-09 That leaves Georgia (pretty similar success over that timeframe as Nebraska) Michigan (noticeably worse over that period) and Notre Dame (one year better than NU; outside the Top 25 every other year). Then you get to their "four-star" list. Oregon is obviously at the top with Stanford right there as well. After that, I'm not sure anyone else on that list has done better than Nebraska over that time: Probably South Carolina; Clemson the last couple years but it would be close over the last six; similar story with A&M & UCLA; I think the Huskers out-do Arky, Cal, Miami, UNC, Ole Miss, Penn St., Tennessee and Washington without too much trouble. So, considering many like to complain about Nebraska's poor recruiting under Pelini, it's mainly only the teams that were already national title contenders when Pelini took over that have surpassed our success on the field. Most other teams have at best marginally better success than Nebraska and we've done quite a bit better than several despite our "sub standard" recruiting.
  12. Plans to visit this spring. Has already taken several visits and is thinking about committing by early summer.
  13. We were up against them for several this year. DT Abu Lamin chose them over us. Petyton Newell chose us over them. And, of course, McClain flipped at the end.
  14. Joseph Keels ‏@Jkeels_9 13m Cut 11 since I been tightening up and like I promised my first step will not be a weakness come fall. Joseph Keels ‏@Jkeels_9 11m I'll do whatever it takes to be great
  15. I'm sure Steve hasn't ever used this. Not even recently. Not with a kid who was currently committed to a Big Ten school.
  16. The following walk-ons have been selected for the Nebraska Shrine Bowl, June 7th in Kearney: Noah Arneson - DT - 6'3", 300 - Omaha, NE (Gross) Alex Boryca - LB - 6'2", 220 - Cozad, NE (Cozad) Bryce Reimers - TE - 6'5", 205 - Lincoln, NE (East) Nate Meduna - TE - 6'5", 220 - Wahoo, NE (Neumann)
